An ancient jaw bone discovered in Taiwan belonged to the mysterious group of early human ancestors called DenisovanScientists reported on Thursday.
Neanderthals and their own types are relatively little about Denisovans, which are an extinct group of human cousins that interact with Homo Sapiens.
“Denisovan fossils are very scarce,” “With just a few approved findings in East Asia,” the plane will not be in Tsutaya for advanced studies in Japan.
So far, the only known Denisovan fossils include partial jaw bones, a few teeth and caves in Siberia and Tibet in the caves. Some scientists believe that the fossils found in the cave in Laos can also belong to Denisovans.
Like Denisovan, Taiwan’s jawbone is expanding the region, which scientists live once in this ancient people. Tsutaya.
“Therefore, Denisovans must be able to adapt to a wide range of habitats,” Research co-chair Frido Welker Reuters told the news agency.

A fishing operation in the Penghu canal near Taiwan’s Bosphorus was rebuilt in the partial jaw bone while digging the sea flow on the seashore. After being sold to an antique shop, a collector saw him in 2008 and then donated Taiwan to the Museum of National National Sciences.
According to the seaterts of the sea, the fossil pleistos belonged to the pleistos. However, what types of early ancestors remained a mystery.
Fosil’s condition was not possible to study the ancient DNA. However, Taiwan, Japan and Denmark in Japan and Denmark, the incomplete jaw bone could produce a certain protein sequence.
The analysis showed some protein sequences, and Denisovan Fosil is like a genome in Siberia. The findings were Published in magazine science.
Although the new study is promising, Rick Potts, director of the human origin project of the Smithsonian organization, said that additional information would like to see Taiwan fossili as Denisovan.
Potts, who did not participate in the new study, praised the study for “some protein recovery.” Added that such a small sliver of this small material can not give a full picture.
At one time, at least three people ancestors – Denisovans, Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens – are experiencing together in Eurasia and Sometimes the stock marketThe researchers say.
Tsutaya said, “We can do neanderthal elements and Denisovan elements for anyone.”
Scientists still do not know why Denisova’s why generations are why.
“We have so many archeological and fossil information about Denizovans that we can only speculate why they disappear.” Said Welker Reuters. “A permanent legacy is a carrier of some Denisovan ancestors in the genomes of some human populations in the east and southeast.”
